24. Masculinity & Mental Health with Cathal Reid

  • Summary

  • Join Callum & Craig as they sit down for another episode of the Therapy Files Podcast. In this episode, they welcome Cathal Reid, as schoolteacher and a Men’s mental Health activist from Ireland. This episode looks at how the socially constructed concept of masculinity is tightly intertwined with mental health – it also examines some of the effects that masculinity has on one’s mental health. Discussion is centred around personal lived experiences interspersed with some academic research and, as always, some statistics. If this sounds like something that may interest you, pull up a chair and join us.
